To find out how many minutes Spencer worked out each day, you need to divide the total workout time by the number of days.
Spencer worked out for a total of 232 1/2 minutes over 5 days.
First, convert 232 1/2 minutes to an improper fraction:
\[ 232 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{232 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{464 + 1}{2} = \frac{465}{2} \]
Now, divide by 5:
\[ \text{Minutes per day} = \frac{465/2}{5} = \frac{465}{2} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{465}{10} = 46.5 \]
Thus, Spencer worked out for **46.5 minutes each day**.
